Abstract (en)

An edge connector for connecting a conductor run on an edge region of a first circuit board to a conductor run of a second circuit board comprises a plate of dielectric material. The plate has a generally U-shaped portion, with the two limbs of the U defining a slot therebetween. The plate of dielectric material may be attached to the second circuit board in a position such that an edge region of the first circuit board may be received in the slot. A signal conductor is adhered to one main face of the plate of dielectric material and has two end portions. One end portion of the signal conductor projects from one of the limbs of the U into the slot for engaging a conductor run on the edge region of the first board, and the other end portion projects from the plate at a location remote from the slot for contacting a conductor run of the second board.
